Michael Vaughan meets Jonny Bairstow - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Even for an international sportsman, England's record breaking batsman and wicket keeper Jonny Bairstow's story is extraordinary. Jonny's dad David Bairstow was one of the most well-known and well-liked Yorkshire cricketers of the modern era. He scored almost 13,000 runs and took 907 catches in more than 400 first class games for his county over 20 years. He became captain in the 1980s and played Test cricket for England. In 1998, David took his own life in his family home. In a candid interview with Michael Vaughan, Jonny opens up about the impact of his father's suicide, his life in cricket and his close relationship with Geoffrey Boycott.
